Inventor: CROZIER STUART
IPC: G01R33/38
Filed: 2000-07-24
Abstract: Asymmetric, compact superconducting magnets for magnetic
resonance imaging are provided. The magnets have a homogeneous
region (the "dsv") which can be located close to one end of the magnet
so as to reduce the sensation of claustrophobia experienced by patients
undergoing MRI procedures. The magnets can be designed using a
hybrid process in which current density analysis is performed to obtain
an initial coil configuration which is then refined using non-linear
optimization techniques to obtain a final coil configuration. The hybrid
method can incorporate various constraints, including, the location and
size of the dsv, the uniformity and strength of the B 0  field, stray field
strengths outside of the superconducting magnet, and field strengths
within the magnet's coils. The hybrid technique can also be used to
design compact symmetric superconducting magnets.

Inventor: EIBLING EDWARD ELLIS
IPC: H04B7/26

Abstract: The power level of at least one forward-link signal is determined for a measurement
interval, where the measurement interval has a duration smaller than or equal to the time period
in which at least one power-indicative signal characteristic can change. For example, a power-indicative
signal characteristic used can be the information rate of the signal, which can change
once per frame. In this case the measurement interval would be smaller than or equal to a frame.
Preferably, the measurement interval is smaller than the time period in which any of the power-indicative
signal characteristics can change. The power level of the signal is based on the
signal's power-indicative signal characteristics during the measurement interval. In one
embodiment of the invention, the signal's power-indicative signal characteristics include the
information rate, and the gain of the signal. The power-indicative signal characteristics can also
include whether the information contained in a traffic signal is control information or voice
and/or data information, whether the signal is setting up a call or is part of an established call,
and whether the call is in a soft handoff. Each forward-link signal is a part of a signal set. The
signal set can include: all or some of the signals corresponding to a sector of the cell containing
the base station; or all or some of the signals amplified by the base station's amplifier. The
power level of each signal that is in the signal set is summed to obtain the power level of the
signal set.

Abstract: A method for controlling tuning current values provided to a multichannel
laser source. For each operating laser channel, a desired slope value of laser power as a
function of tuning current is stored. The slope values of laser power as a function of
tuning current is then measured. The tuning current is then adjusted until a slope value
substantially close to said desired slope value is measured. The operating tuning current
is set for the laser source that corresponds to the measured slope value.

dissociating the metal atoms from the gas atoms, and by ionizing the metal
atoms into light and heavy ions according to their mass to charge ratio. The
light and heavy ions are then influenced by the crossed electric and magnetic
fields to separate the light ions from the heavy ions.

Abstract: The tobacco product carries on its surface catalytically active
material for improving the burning process. The catalytically active material is
selected from the group of crystalline and non-crystalline oxides and hydroxides
of aluminium, e.g. gibbsite, having a particle size of 1 to 100 µm and a specific
surface of 75 to 250 m 2 /g. With the use of the catalyst in the tobacco, the
amount of noxious compounds in the mainstream and sidestream smoke can
be considerably reduced in the combustion process of the smokers' article
during its consumption. 
     The said tobacco product is useful for smoker's articles comprising a
filter, a tobacco rod and a wrapper. In such articles the tobacco rod consists of
the tobacco product. 
     The process for preparing the tobacco product carrying catalytically
active materials on its surface consists in treating tobacco with any of the
above-mentioned catalytically active materials, without the use of binding
agents, by the steps of distributing the catalytically active material on tobacco
particles and pressing the catalytically active material on the tobacco particles,
preferably with a defined degree of moisture. The treated tobacco product is
useful for manufacturing smokers' articles, particularly cigarettes, having a
reduced amount of toxic components in the smoke. 
     For carrying out the process, a device (1) comprising the following
means is proposed:
   a) at least one conveyor belt (11, 12) for carrying the tobacco T   b) a device (7) for supplying and distributing tobacco on the conveyor belt   c) at least one device (9; 10) for supplying and distributing catalytically active
material (C1, C2) on the tobacco on the conveyor belt   d) at least one driving means for driving simultaneously the conveyor belt(s)
(11, 12) and the devices (7, 9, 10) for supplying and distributing tobacco and
catalytically active material.
